Glazing Systems by Havmek

Engineered for Precision, Designed for Protection

Protect what you catch and preserve what you deliver.
Each Havmek glazing system is designed for accuracy, reliability, and long term performance while keeping operational costs under control.

Built for Your Process
At Havmek, we engineer glazing systems that are configured to match your product type, glaze thickness targets, and line speed. By adapting each system to your process, we eliminate the inefficiencies commonly seen in standard glazing setups. Controlled water distribution and airflow ensure uniform coating with reduced dehydration loss and optimized water and power usage.

FAQs
1. How does Havmek ensure uniform and accurate glaze thickness?

Havmek systems maintain glaze accuracy through controlled dwell time, calibrated flow speed, stable water temperature (0–2°C), and automated recirculation. This ensures uniform surface coating while preserving product texture.

2. How does Havmek minimise water usage in glazing operations?

All glazing systems use closed-loop recirculation with filtration, controlled overflow, and optional integrated chiller systems. This reduces water consumption and keeps clarity stable throughout long shifts.

3. Can Havmek glazing systems integrate with existing factory lines?

Yes. Havmek designs glazing units to connect seamlessly with conveyors, graders, IQF freezers, washing modules, and packing lines without requiring major layout changes.

4. Are Havmek glazing machines built for hygiene and washdown?

Glazing systems are constructed from SS304/SS316L with open-frame designs, sloped drainage, clean-flow recirculation, and easy conveyor access — enabling quick washdown and full sanitation.

5. How does Havmek maintain temperature stability in glazing?

Systems operate with water maintained at 0–2°C using chillers, insulated tanks, and temperature sensors to ensure proper adhesion and avoid thermal drift.
